Abstract

This chapter describes an exemplary research project examining patient care and patient outcomes at local and national level. The research project is a complex intervention based on shared decision-making for patients facing a choice of dialysis modality. A transitional research model has directed this project, why in this chapter particular attention is devoted to (1) how to ensure evidence-based practice and integrate clinical practice and research, (2) how to illustrate the need for nursing in clinical practice and (3) how to combine a translational research approach with a research programme in a specific project. The chapter concludes that the success of a research project hinges on the translational research approach and the level of clinical expertise characterizing the research.
